  1. Lunch (12:00 noon - 12:35pm)
  2. Dates for spring meetings (Chris White)
    We have generally found that Fridays work better than other days, but we still need to choose the Fridays we will use.
  3. Faculty Evaluations by Students
    This has been a concern for some time. Provost Cramb is particularly interested in this issue, and the Council has an opportunity to discuss this in his presence and provide him with a historical context for the current situation.
  4. UCoPT Operations:
    Provost Cramb would like UCoPT to meet with him in person to pass on their reports.
  5. IPro Faculty Oversight Committee report
    Prof. Phil Troyk, former chair of the UniFC, would like to give the Council an update.
  6. BS/MS Program in Applied Mathematics
    This will be an announcement rather than an action item: the undergraduate and graduate components of this program are fully approved already.
  7. Financial Report (Howard Chapman)
    Prof. Howard Chapman has made the January draft of the report available to Council members, and he will lead a discussion of it.
  8. Leadership Assessment (Chris White)
    Chris plans to offer some brief remarks on this topic.
  9. Strategic Plan
    President Anderson will address the February UniFC meeting on this subject.
